| Welcome Message from President Andrea
Espinoza Dear Fellow Rotaractors and Rotarians, Thank you for the honor of representing this amazing club in the 2005-2006 term as your president. The past two and half years as a member of the Rotaract Club of Downtown San Diego have truly impacted me, as I'm sure have impacted you. I have planned events and fundraisers with you, built homes with you in Tijuana, boogied with you on the dance floor and just shared memories that I will treasure forever. This doesn't even compare though, to the wonderful life-long friendships that I have made and that mean so very much to me. Because, see, this is what Rotaract is about. It's about friendships. It's about community. It's about serving others. It's about global understanding. It's about service and it's about unity. This is why I love this club so much and am passionate about its future. I am blessed with an awesome board that will be providing you with great community service projects, fun social events (watch out, Felix will be planning these!), impacting fundraisers and international awareness. I have big shoes to fill, following Geoff Miller as president, who led this club to where it is today. But, I am up to the challenge and am confident that this year will be a great one. I am excited to see what we are going to accomplish, together, this year! I hope you all had a fun and safe 4th of July. See you, with gavel in hand, on July 5th. Sincerely, Andrea Espinoza President Rotaract Club of Downtown San Diego 2005-2006 |

| SD Rotaract Receives Presidential Citation The awards just keep rolling in! Downtown Rotaract has received a Presidential Citation from Rotary International President Glenn Estess for the 2004-2005 year. Presidential Citations were awarded to deserving clubs who Celebrate Rotary in their clubs, in their vocations, in their communities, and in the world. Our club was awarded this citation based on our service in each of those areas (see below for a list of the projects that won us this recognition) and required the recommendation of our sponsoring Rotary President, Ron Erbetta, and our District Governor, Sandi Rimer. This citation is recognition that we are making a difference on the world stage, in our community, and in each other's lives. Congrats to everyone who has Celebrated Rotary with us this year! Have a look at the activities that contributed to earning this award and see if you can come up with something new that will earn next year's citation! Presidential Citation Recognized Activities:

| Rotaract & Rotary Trivia Featured Rotary International Project: Turning On the Tap Clean water is the most basic component of good health. But in many parts of the world, thousands of children die each day because a reliable supply of potable water is unavailable. It is with this in mind that Living Waters for the World seeks to give its partners the tools they need to have a constant supply of clean drinking water. Acting as a resource for both secular and religious organizations, Living Waters offers a five-day course that prepares individuals for leadership roles in implementing successful purification systems throughout the world. Already, U.S. Rotarians from California, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas have helped install purification systems in Belize, Brazil, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, and Mexico.
